Chapter 2256 Panic
Wei Ying led his men and fled in embarrassment.
There are too many servants and warriors in the Changsun family, and there are also many porters who work for the Changsun family. If the two armies confront each other, Wei Ying is confident that he will lead his men to fight to the death, and can slaughter all this ragtag group of people, with blood spattering five steps away. .
But this is Chang'an City after all, and the identities of those beggars are not clear. Who dares to go on a killing spree in this Western Market?
If you don't dare to kill, you can only retreat.
But he was also holding his breath in his heart, what happened to your eldest grandson's family? There are many people bullying the few people?
Okay, wait for me!
Wei Ying ran out of the north gate of Xishi City and ran directly into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion across the road, asking to see Yin Mazhou of Jingzhao. The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was full of Fang Jun's old subordinates. Naturally, they knew the leader of Fang Jun's family. They also knew that Fang Jun had a very close relationship with Ma Zhou. When he heard that Fang Jun wanted to see Ma Zhou, he did not stop him. , took him into Ma Zhou’s duty room...
After a while, Ma Zhou, dressed in official uniform, walked out of the duty room in a hurry. He immediately ordered all the yamen servants and patrol officers in the yamen, swarmed around the West Market, blocked all exits, and then led the people directly into the West Market. Inside, we arrived at Changsun's warehouse.
Everyone in the warehouse was stunned. They all knew that Fang Jun was on good terms with Ma Zhou, but Fang Jun's henchman was beaten away, and Ma Zhou came to take revenge with the patrol soldiers. Isn't this too much?
However, Ma Zhou didn't listen to the warehouse manager's questioning and ordered people to break into the warehouse and search everywhere.
Changsun Langjun used the power of everyone to drive away Wei Ying and others. Unexpectedly, these people summoned the troops of Jingzhao Mansion as soon as they turned around. Before they could leave the West City, they were blocked by the patrol officers of Jingzhao Mansion. He went through various exits and had to return to the warehouse to try to hide.
But where could anyone hide in this small warehouse?
After a while, the disgraced police officers pulled him out from under a large car in the yard...
The warehouse owner suppressed his anger, but did not dare to explode. Ma Zhou personally led the team. How many people in Chang'an City dared to confront him and asked him to keep people under his command?
However, Ma Zhou cannot be allowed to take people away without saying a word. If that happens, the face of the Changsun family will be completely dropped to the ground, and they will be trampled on by others.
He stood up, stopped the patrolman who was escorting several "beggars", and said to Ma Zhou: "Ma Fuyin, these people are the descendants of the eldest son's family. Please let the eldest grandson's family understand what their faults are and what they have violated." Which royal law did you follow? ”
A tough attitude needs to be expressed, not only to show the toughness of the eldest son's family, but also to put a certain amount of pressure on Ma Zhou.
After all, this is a member of the Changsun family.
But how could Ma Zhou be the one who was under pressure? This person is famous for being a soft-spoken person, so he replied expressionlessly: "I am acting as an official, so why should I explain it to you?"
In his eyes, the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people, and he doesn't care about your eldest grandson's family or the Linghu family!
The shopkeeper watched helplessly as the patrolmen and government servants from Jingzhao Mansion surrounded Ma Zhou and left. The few disciples holding the highest-level tokens of the Changsun family were also taken away. He did not dare to delay, so he quickly ordered someone to bring in a fast horse, mounted it and galloped away. Chongren went to Changsun Mansion to report the news.
When encountering a selfless official like Ma Zhou, only the head of the family can force him to be lenient...
*****
In another warehouse across the street from Changsun's warehouse, several people gathered in front of the window and watched the scene of people shouting, horses screaming, patrols and soldiers running rampant. They all swallowed their saliva.
"Mother! You are actually Fang Jun's man?"
"Why does Bangchui know that we are returning to Beijing at this time? Could it be that what we have done has been exposed and Fang Jun learned about it?"
"This is impossible!"
"Then how could he happen to meet us at the city gate and send someone to follow us?"
"Who the hell knows? Fortunately, we got rid of them just now. Otherwise, if we were caught up now, we wouldn't be able to run away, and we would be caught in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. Then we would be in trouble..."< br>
Several people murmured, and Hegan Chengji on the side was also secretly afraid.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to detect someone following me, and I used a brothel to trick Fang Jun and other scoundrels, and I happened to meet a group of unlucky guys like the Changsun family, otherwise it would have been really difficult to escape.
But why did the Changsun family have several people with mysterious identities sneak into Chang'an?
I don’t understand...
"Don't look at it, keep your voice down, so as not to be discovered! Rest here for a while, and when all the soldiers patrolling outside have withdrawn, we will return to the palace immediately."
"Here!"
Everyone quickly left the window and lay or sat in the room.
*****
Chongrenfang, Changsun Mansion.
Changsun Wuji had just returned from the court and ordered someone to make a pot of tea. He was sipping the tea in the study while reading official documents.
The sound of footsteps outside the study was quite rapid.
Not long after, the servant came in and reported: "Master, the shopkeeper of the West Market Warehouse has something to ask for."
Changsun Wuji put down the official document, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked: "What's important?"
The servant said: "He refused to say anything. He only said that it was extremely urgent and he must report it to the master of the family face to face."
Changsun Wuji was slightly startled. What big thing happened, and he had to report it to himself? He waved his hand and said: "Let him come in."
"Here!"
The servant exited, and the warehouse manager entered the study in three steps at a time. He first saluted, then took out the jade-carved family emblem secretly given to Changsun Langjun before he was arrested, handed it to Changsun Wuji, and whispered Said: "Not long ago, someone holding this object entered the city in a convoy, claiming to be a descendant of the eldest grandson family. The younger one didn't know whether it was true or not, so he came to ask the head of the family for verification."
Little people are also smart, and everyone has their own survival skills.
A person who cannot confirm the authenticity of the token can be exempted from the main responsibility even if there are serious consequences of today's incident in West Market...
Changsun Wuji obviously had no intention of paying attention to the shopkeeper's little calculation. He stared blankly at the jade-carved family emblem, lost his mind for a moment, snatched it away, examined it carefully, and asked with red eyes: "Human?" Where? ”
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his guess was correct. The identity of the person holding the token was indeed unusual...
He quickly said: "He was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion."
Changsun Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he said quickly: "How did Jingzhao Mansion discover his identity?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "No one knew his identity. It was just because for some reason he had a conflict with Fang Jun's personal soldiers. The two sides fought fiercely. This led to the Jingzhao Mansion and arrested the person holding the token on the spot. Now he has Taken to Jingzhao Mansion Prison"
Changsun Wuji kicked over a stool and cursed loudly: "Second Brother, I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and break your bones into ashes!"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Damn it, that person's identity is not just ordinary? It is simply not a trivial matter. The head of the family is so angry. He is afraid that he will not be able to escape this responsibility, but he also feels aggrieved. If he is angered because of this, how wrong will he be?
It’s simply a disaster that fell from the sky, and we don’t know anything!
"Come here, prepare a car!"
Changsun Wuji was already terrified. Firstly, he did not dare to delay for a moment. If that person's identity was exposed in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, there would really be no room for change. Ma Zhou's temperament was simply Wei Zheng secondly, it is absolutely impossible to communicate in private.
When I think of the tragic situation that I am very likely to face...
He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he quickly walked out of the study and went straight to the front yard. He stood at the gate, waiting for the servant to hitch the carriage.
When the coachman drove the hitched carriage to the door, Changsun Wuji jumped on and said solemnly: "Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Here!"
The coachman responded quickly, made a whip with the whip in his hand, lightly slapped the horse on the buttocks, and the carriage drove off.
Chongrenfang is to the east of the imperial city, and Jingzhao Mansion is to the west of the imperial city. The two are separated by an imperial city and connected from east to west by a sky street.
In a short time, the carriage arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain. Before anyone could help him, Changsun Wuji in the carriage had already jumped out, startling the coachman. Is this the usual unfailing and well-planned family head? ?
He's so anxious that he doesn't even care about his reserve...
Changsun Wuji also realized that he was careless and acted too impatiently. If his thoughtful expression was noticed by Ma Zhou, he was afraid that there would be trouble.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and with a harmless smile on his face, he put his hands behind his back, walked up the steps in front of Jingzhao Mansion, and walked squarely into the Yamen.
There was some confusion among the officials in the yamen. Some people were shocked when they saw Changsun Wuji.
The front leg had just captured a few members of the eldest son's family, and the rear leg eldest son Wuji personally chased him to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion...
Was he offended by the behavior of Jingzhao Mansion and came to slap him in person?
However, given their status, most of the officials in Jingzhao Mansion were from Guanzhong. They quickly stepped forward to salute politely, and asked respectfully: "Are you looking for the governor of my house, Duke Zhao?"
Changsun Wuji's round face was full of smiles, and he said cheerfully: "No, I just happened to be passing by and came in for a inspection. Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of public security in the capital and is busy with official duties. How dare I harass Ma Fuyin from fulfilling his loyal duties?" but I heard that an unscrupulous member of my family committed adultery and was arrested by the Jingzhao Mansion. I asked Laoer and others to tell Ma Fuyin that the law is above all and there is no favoritism. Please don’t care about the face of my eldest son’s family and he will be severely punished according to the law!”
The officials stared at each other and dared not say a word.
Do you want Jingzhao Mansion to act in accordance with the law?
It’s obvious that he is raising an army to investigate the crime... (End of Chapter)
